Completely wipe out the Ming Dynasty's forces along the coast of Guangdong!
If Hong Kong cannot be conquered because of the sea, then he will also trap Hong Kong to death.
If possible, Shang Kexi would also like to send troops from the Leizhou Peninsula to recapture Qiongzhou for the Qing Dynasty!
If we say last year, it was the Ming army that took the initiative to attack and harass the Qing Dynasty's coastal areas.
So this year, the Qing army took the initiative and launched a counterattack against the Ming Dynasty!
The counterattack of the Qing army was also comprehensive, not only Shang Kexi from the Guangdong direction led troops to attack Macau, Leizhou, Dahao and other places.
Geng Jingzhong also received the imperial edict from the imperial court and prepared to launch an attack on the Zheng army entrenched in Kinmen and Xiamen.
Completely eradicate Zheng Jun's power on land in Fujian!
Zhejiang is even preparing to mobilize the inland water divisions in the Yangtze River to attack Zhang Huangyan's troops who have been entrenched in Zhoushan for a generation.
Even Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi in Yunnan, chose to lead his troops into Myanmar after making corresponding preparations.
Prepare to help Burmese Wang Mangbai deal with the Ming army entering Burma!
Although the Ming army under Li Dingguo chose to withdraw its troops after capturing Ava, the capital of Myanmar, they were preparing to retreat to Mengla.
But the Ming army did not take any land from Myanmar.
After the Ming army conquered Ava, the capital of Myanmar, on their way back, they took advantage of the situation and captured the Shan State area of Upper Myanmar near Mengla!
That is the legendary Mian·Gayaozi·North region!
With the support of local Chinese, indigenous Shan people, and Dai people who fled from the north, the Ming army successfully annexed the entire Shan State.
And establish local rule, recruit troops and collect food!
The relationship between Shan State and the central government of the Kingdom of Myanmar is not very good. The main ethnic groups there are Shan and Dai, and they are at odds with the Bamar, the main ethnic group in Myanmar.
After the Ming Dynasty came over, the famous scene of eating pots of slurry to welcome the king's army often occurred in Shan State.
Shan State is almost one of the most prosperous and populous areas in the entire Upper Myanmar.
After acquiring Shan State, the Ming army's military strength was greatly improved!
They also recruited a large army capable of fighting the Burmese in ravines.
As a result, Ming's threat to Myanmar will be even greater!
Wu Sangui's reinforcements to Myanmar were also directed at Shan State.
He can't sit back and watch Li Dingguo's army grow bigger!
…
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions sounded one after another, and billowing smoke and dust erupted from the forts, fortresses and other places in Macau.
Amidst the rumbling explosions, the forts and fortresses quickly collapsed and turned into ruins!
Charles stood on the bow of the ship, looking at Macau where explosions continued, with deep reluctance flashing in his eyes.
During this time in Macau, he had the final say on many things in Macau!
But if you leave Macau, he will not have the final say on many things!
After tasting the sweetness of power, how could Charles give it up?
Seeing the Macau he had worked so hard to build turn into ruins, Charles' heart was filled with deep reluctance.
"Mr. Charles, the forts and fortresses have all been demolished!"
A Portuguese young man with long hair came to report to him.
After the Ming Dynasty regained Macau, it did not retaliate against the Portuguese in Macau.
The governor of Macau and other colonial officials were let go, and were even allowed to take away some of their belongings.
For the other Portuguese, except for the extortion of a recovery fee, the demolition of churches, and the prohibition of public religious gatherings, life went on as usual.
Even their property was not confiscated!
In this context, many Portuguese people chose to work for the Ming Dynasty in exchange for remuneration to maintain their lives.
This time when the Ming Dynasty evacuated Macau, many Portuguese people who were deeply tied to the Ming Dynasty also took their families with them!
Charles nodded slightly and said.
"Very well, let's pull up the anchor and set sail and get ready to evacuate!"
Charles gave an order, and a large number of merchant ships pulled anchor and withdrew towards Hong Kong.
…
Shang Kexi led his troops to Macau, but what was left to him was ruins, and the Ming army had long since withdrawn.
A group of Portuguese people held white flags and surrendered to the Qing army.
"Damn the Ming thief, he escaped so fast!"
Shang Kexi was riding on horseback, swinging his whip, his face filled with gloomy clouds.
It seems like it will explode anytime and anywhere!
In addition, the Qing generals behind him also expressed regret.
Originally, they thought that after conquering Macau, King Pingnan would let them make a fortune.
Unexpectedly, Macau surrendered!
"Master, Macau's reputation for being rich is widely spread, and the brothers below are all waiting to get rich!"
Shang Yong, the general of Shang Kexi’s family, suggested.
Shang Yong was born as a servant of Shang Kexi, and now he has become the general soldier of the town.
Although there are gratifying reasons for this, there is no need to doubt his ability!
At least in terms of grasping the morale of the military, Shang Yong is very good!
After hearing Shang Yong's words, Shang Kexi looked at the Portuguese people kneeling in front of him asking for surrender, snorted slightly, and said.
"Barbarians abroad don't know how to be king!"
"You dare to collude with Ming thieves and rebel against our Qing Dynasty. You really deserve to be killed!"
"Come here, push these two barbarians down and kill them!"
The two Portuguese men who knelt in front of Shang Kexi's horse and begged for surrender looked stunned, but their astonishment didn't last long before it came to an abrupt end.
Puff! Puff!
Heads fell to the ground, blood sprayed!
The next moment, Shang Kexi waved his hand and said.
"Send the order to the army to attack Macau immediately!"
"After the city is broken, I will not seal the sword for ten days, and use blood and killings to let these barbarians know the fate of those who dare to collude with Ming thieves and betray our Qing Dynasty."
After Shang Kexi finished speaking, strange screams rang out from the Qing army formation.
Countless Qing troops from the Eight Banners and the Green Camp rushed toward Macau with murderous intent.
With the withdrawal of the Ming army and the demolition of the forts and fortresses, Macau is now an undefended city.
Facing the roaring Qing army, the remaining Portuguese were unable to resist!
The Qing cavalry took the lead in entering Macau and galloped through the streets of Macau.
Some Portuguese who were bold enough to come out to check out the situation were decapitated by passing sabers!
Headless corpses were lying everywhere!
More and more Qing troops poured into Macau, with fire mixed with thick smoke, and blood accompanied by killing.
The steel sword dances with the war horse!
Screams and wails sounded one after another!
The Qing army robbed everything they saw and killed anyone they saw. Many women suffered disaster and were raped in the street.
Massacre the city, this is massacre the city!
The Qing army of this era was indeed powerful in combat, but their military discipline was really hard to say.
If you want the Qing army to exert its due fighting power, you must indulge them in burning, killing, looting, massacring cities and exterminating clans.
Just like what happened today, Shang Kexi could have accepted Macau's surrender!
However, forced by the will of the army, he could only refuse to surrender and issued an order to massacre the city.
Otherwise, the next time they go to the battlefield, it can be said that the Eight Banners soldiers of the Han Army are all slaves of the Prince Pingnan, and no one can make a difference!
But those green battalion soldiers transferred from Guangxi and Hunan really dared to work for him without any effort!
The Qing army indulged its animal desires in the wanton killing!
At this time, the most vicious evil in the world is happening in Macau.
A large number of Portuguese people were beheaded in despair, and many Portuguese women were directly used as military prostitutes.
The entire Macau is full of despair, both inside and outside it!
Shang Kexi quietly looked at Macau that had turned into a sea of fire, the expression on his face unchanged.
The only thing that concerned him was whether it was possible for the Qing army to take advantage of the trend and conquer Hong Kong next?
